Children at an early age (early childhood) including the grades of elementary school is a human figure that has a lot of uniqueness and rich imagination. Therefore, they must be facilitated in order to develop their potential through by providing many experiences of interacting with the natural surroundings and the natural environment of social life. One way that can be done is through the development of science learning. Development of science learning in early childhood including other development has a very important role in building the foundation or foundation of the ability and the establishment of a strong character for quality human resources. Awareness of the importance of science in children will be higher if we realize that we live in a dynamic and changing world continuously, the more complex the scope, and of course will increasingly require science. So future predictions of life's challenges make science's binding for children absolute and science embedded within them as a way of seeking truth in future lives. They must be equipped with strong literacy skills in accordance with early childhood development until the grade elementary school, especially aspects of language development including reading, speaking and writing skills.

Science learning in Indonesia has not succeeded in increasing scientific literacy skills, as indicated by the decreasing international ranking from year to year. One of the efforts made to improve scientific literacy is using Android-based learning media. This study aims to analyze the need for the development of instructional media to improve students' scientific literacy at MTs Al Uswah Bergas Semarang Regency. This type of research is a descriptive study that is to describes the current situation. The data instruments used were interviews, observation, and questionnaires. The results of the research on the analysis of the needs for learning media based on android showed that 38% of the 80 students, namely 30 students agreed to develop Android-based learning media, while 29% of the students showed disagreement, 21% strongly agreed, and 12% strongly disagreed. There are aspects of literacy then students including; literacy as mastery of science as knowledge was 63%, 66% as a way of thinking, 62% of scientific literacy as a way of learning, 62% of the aspects of mastery of the competence of the interaction of science, technology, and society. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the development of Android-based mobile learning media to improve students' scientific literacy

The importance of science literacy in early childhood greatly influences the development of scientific thinking ability. Early childhood is the most critical learning goal that can be done with a student-centered approach to the classroom. This article discusses the needs of science literacy at an early age. Various investigative processes have been carried out by uncovering qualitative methodology. The interview method was conducted to five early childhood teachers. Teknik data analysis using Heurmeutical analysis and Miles and Huberman models. The results showed that early childhood in the application of science literacy as a learning development program in the classroom requires three aspects that need to be considered, namely: attitude, skills, self-competence in children's cognitive ability, and participation in classroom strategies mapped by teachers. While the needs of learning in the classroom are very important to be done as an effort to improve the competence of teachers to the quality of teaching. In the long term, this research has implications in the field of education, namely the development of teacher competencies on the ability to manage science literacy at an early age.

This paper will discuss about the strategy of developing early childhood learning model. This discourse is very important to be studied in view of the development of dynamic times and curricula. Recent discoveries in the field of education require educators to innovate in producing superior educational products including early childhood education. To achieve the goal of science learning in early childhood optimally, the PAUD organizers should consider the model, approach and strategy that will be applied. And improve the process skills that must be owned by early childhood. In order to learn science is not considered as difficult and boring by early childhood.Keywords : Strategy, Early Childhood, Development

Building children's character from an early age is important, because children's character is the main key to developing quality resources. One of the problems that is often encountered in building early childhood character is the use of learning methods that are not suitable for early childhood development. One of the learning methods that are suitable for early childhood development is the center learning method. Building the character of early childhood during the pandemic Covid-19 is a new challenge for teachers, because learning is done online. However, using face-to-face learning center learning methods can be done virtually by utilizing technology. Based on the analysis carried out from 98 scientific articles published in various reputable journals in various countries (Japan, Europe, Korea, China, India, Australia, England and Indonesia), it was found that center learning can be used as an alternative to help teachers build character. early childhood. Central learning is assumed to be in accordance with early childhood development which emphasizes the principle of learning while playing. For this reason, center learning can be an option for teachers in the learning process, especially in building early childhood character. In fact, teachers need to be given special skills related to how to apply this learning center, so that the process of character building for early childhood can still be done even though face-to-face learning is done virtually.

Abstract Objectives Malnutrition is associated with sub-optimal brain development, which adversely affects cognitive development in children. However, limited information exists in Nepal on the effects of various types of malnutrition on early childhood development (ECD). We assessed the association of stunting, wasting and underweight (three prominent forms of malnutrition) with the four domains of the ECD index (literacy-numeracy, physical, social-emotional and learning development) among children 36 to 59 months of age. Methods This study used a recently published national household survey from Nepal, the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2019 dataset. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression was used to identify the association between ECD indicators and stunting, wasting and underweight. The study sample consisted of children aged 3–4 years (n = 2870). Children were considered developmentally on track if they met specific criteria in each of the four ECD domains. Results Results indicated that 43.9% of stunted, 8.2% wasted and 29.6% underweight children did not sufficiently meet ECD index criteria to be considered developmentally on track. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) indicated that children with literacy-numeracy skills (stunting OR 0.53, p < 0.01, CI 0.42 – 0.67; underweight OR 0.61, p < 0.01, CI 0.47 – 0.79) were adequately nourished (stunting OR 0.47, p < 0.01, CI 0.29 – 0.75; underweight OR 0.55, p < 0.01, CI 0.34 – 0.88), and children with adequate learning development were less likely to be stunted or underweight (stunting OR 0.54, p < 0.01, CI 0.40 – 0.74; underweight OR 0.54, p < 0.01, CI 0.39 – 0.75). However, the study demonstrated no significant association between malnutrition and social-emotional development after adjusting for confounding variables. Likewise, no association between the four ECD domains and child wasting was observed after adjusting for socio-economic confounders. Conclusions Children's nutrition status impacts ECD outcomes. For better development outcomes among children, ECD components should be integrated into nutrition programming through capacity building activities of mothers, coupling nutrition messaging with ECD and providing books and tools for early learning.
